The committee also said it wants to hear from Mr. Manafort about Russia's attempts to influence the election previous year. In a joint statement, Senators Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein also said they are negotiating with Mr. Trump Jr. and Mr. Manafort about possibly turning over documents.

He will speak with both the Senate and House intelligence committees this week following the stunning revelation that he met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer during the campaign.

Both committees are investigating aspects of Russia's attack on the 2016 presidential election.

The committee wanted Manafort to testify on enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and Russia's attempts to influence US elections.

"While the Judiciary Committee was willing to cooperate on equal terms with any other committee to accommodate Mr. Manafort's request, ultimately that was not possible", they said. That meeting was held in Trump Tower in NY after the lawyer offered damaging information about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The committee said last week that it would not subpoena Manafort as it negotiated an agreement with him to provide documents and be interviewed by committee members and staff. Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni says Manafort "answered their questions fully". The New York Times reported recently that Manafort was indebted to pro-Russian interests as late as previous year.

On Monday, he answered questions from staff on the Senate's intelligence panel.
